<html><body><div>For a moment, I thought it might have been mine! When I was discharged from the Army in 1970, my brother sold me his Austin-Healey. Maroon over white with a white interior and white walls. Very period of course. It was a very beautiful car, not stock, but also very cool for the day. Anyway, his wife had had an accident in it and crunched the front end. My brother cut off the body in the front and made a fiberglass Ferrari GT 250 front end for the car. It was just primered, but it still looked cool and I was going to finish it after I bought it. I drove it from Dallas to Los Angeles in a day, slept in L.A. and then went to San Francisco the next day.</div><div> I never got around to finishing it, I drove the wheels off of it and it died. I left it at a friends house, actually his grandmothers and never got it back. Very long story on that aspect. But when I saw the headline here, I had to look. Wasn't mine and I'm sure I will never see that car again. Young and stupid, but the Austin Healey bug bit and I was never cured.</div><div>Steven Kingsbury </div><div><br>On April 13, 2020 at 10:07 PM, "Bruce Steele" <healeybruce@roadrunner.com> wrote:<br><br></div><div><blockquote type="cite"><div class="msg-quote"><div class="_stretch"><span class="body-text-content">Interesting short article on a customized Healey.<br><br><a href="https://www.hemmings.com/stories/2020/04/08/lost-and-found-overflow-the-aust" data-mce-href="https://www.hemmings.com/stories/2020/04/08/lost-and-found-overflow-the-aust">https://www.hemmings.com/stories/2020/04/08/lost-and-found-overflow-the-aust</a><br>in-healey-with-the-face-of-a-ferrari <br><br>Bruce Steele<br>Brea, CA<br>1960 BN7<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Support <a href="http://Team.Net" data-mce-href="http://Team.Net">Team.Net</a> <a href="http://www.team.net/donate.html" data-mce-href="http://www.team.net/donate.html">http://www.team.net/donate.html</a><br>Suggested annual donation $12.75<br><br>Archive: <a href="http://www.team.net/pipermail/healeys" data-mce-href="http://www.team.net/pipermail/healeys">http://www.team.net/pipermail/healeys</a> <a href="http://autox.team.net/archive" data-mce-href="http://autox.team.net/archive">http://autox.team.net/archive</a><br><br><a href="mailto:Healeys@autox.team.net" data-mce-href="mailto:Healeys@autox.team.net">Healeys@autox.team.net</a><br><a href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys" data-mce-href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys">http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys</a><br><br>Unsubscribe/Manage: <a href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/healeys/airtightproductions@icloud.com" data-mce-href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/healeys/airtightproductions@icloud.com">http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/healeys/airtightproductions@icloud.com</a><br><br></span></div></div></blockquote></div></body></html>
